I put my parents Sony 32 Wega TV in for repair with the shop we bought it for for repair after only 2 years of ownership.

The shop could not repair it and returned it to us saying we needed a Sony engineer to repair it.

It ame back to us with a Euro socket on!!! It had not been added from what I could tell. I called the shop and they said that all Sony TV's have a Euro plug that goes into a UK socket plug. And they forgot to put the socket back on.

Now surely I would notice that the original UK plug was actually a socket. They are lying.

What have they done replaced the whole chassis? Is it even the same TV?

some Sony equipment is fitted with a captive two pin europlug, for the uk this is clipped into a british 3 pin plug casing it makes it a little bulkier than a standard 3 pin plug, so they could be telling the truth-but why they should have removed the 3 pin is strange. as mentioned look for other evidence numbers or familiar marks etc.

Originally posted by Napoleon It is illegal to sell electrical equipment with a 2 pin plug in this country;there is absolutely no way a Sony tv would be sold like that here.Someone is not telling you the truth methinks.

A LOT of electrical equipment has the euro two pin plug which as stated above is then attached to a UK style plug with a special plug,as to why they would take this off i don't know.......
